Recovering From the Shock of Infidelity: Endurance, Patience and Rebuilding Trust

Infidelity can destroy a marriage. It’s estimated that 20% of couples will encounter infidelity. Some claim that only 35% of marriages will survive infidelity. But who cares about statistics when your world is blown to smithereens? Today (note the special time of 11:00am EST) we will talk about this sensitive and heartbreaking topic and offer hope for a renewed relationship.
